Promotions let you to run online deals on both Service Certificates and Custom Certificates, and you can apply an automatic discount based on a percentage or dollar amount off the listed price of each item.
Each Gift Certificate Promo comes with its own unique webpage where the Gift Certificate can be purchased.
For Service Certificates, the amount off is based on the price listed under Gift Certificates > Service Certificates.
For Custom Certificates, the amount off is based on the price listed under Gift Certificates > Custom Certificates.
In both cases, the purchaser will pay the discounted rate, but the gift code that's generated will still be good for the original amount of the Service or Custom Certificate.
Multiple Gift Certificates can be included in the same Promotion, but each one is purchased separately. If you create a Promotion that includes multiple Gift Certificates, each one will be listed on its page but will be purchased individually. Including multiple Gift Certificates does not mean that the Client is buying all in the same transaction. Each Gift Certificate can only be purchased one at a time.
